The transport options visitors are likely to use
Jaipur Metro connects the city’s western end with Badi Chaupar, while walking or a car can suit shorter trips around the Old City. Choose a station-to-station ride for a longer cross-city journey, then walk between nearby sights where the route makes sense.
For plans centred on the Old City, the Metro’s eastern end provides access to Walled City markets and landmarks. The Jaipur Old City bazaars include Johari Bazaar and Bapu Bazaar; Badi Chaupar is also identified as a centre point for Johari Bazaar, Tripolia Bazaar, Ramganj Bazaar and Hawa Mahal Bazaar.
Using Badi Chaupar and the Old City stations
Badi Chaupar is the Metro’s Old City endpoint and a station for reaching Walled City markets. Chhoti Chaupar and Chandpole are also on the route, linking the Old City with the rest of the Metro line.
The City Palace, Hawa Mahal and Jantar Mantar are central sights to combine with an Old City outing. For a route that links Old City stops, the one-day Jaipur itinerary follows an Old City route from the hotel area.
Jaipur Metro routes and where to verify service
Jaipur Metro runs between Mansarovar and Badi Chaupar, passing through Railway Station and Sindhi Camp. JMRC operates the rapid transit system; its passenger information includes pages for timetables, stations, fares, feeder service, delay or cancellation notices, lost property and station amenities.
The route developed in two phases. Construction of Phase 1A, from Mansarovar to Chandpole Bazaar, began in 2010, and commercial service began in 2015. Phase 1B extended the line underground from Chandpole to Badi Chaupar, with Chhoti Chaupar and Badi Chaupar stations; commercial service began in 2020.
Use JMRC’s official passenger-information pages to confirm service details before setting out, as timetables and fares can change. The Metro Feeder Service page is also worth checking if you need a connection beyond the stations.
How do you get between the Old City and Jaipur Junction?
The Metro links the Old City end of the route with Railway Station, making it a direct option between Badi Chaupar and Jaipur Junction. Sindhi Camp is also on the route, so you can use the same line to reach that station from either end.
If your plans include a train, check the Metro timetable against your departure rather than relying on a remembered schedule. JMRC provides service notices alongside timetable and station information, which can help you confirm whether the route is operating as expected.
The airport transfer is a separate journey; the Jaipur airport transfer guide covers it.
Choosing transport for short sightseeing trips
For Old City sights close together, walking can work well; for longer cross-city journeys, consider the Metro or a car. Albert Hall, Lake Palace, Sisodiya Rani Bagh, Sawai Mansingh Stadium and Amber Fort are among the other sights to plan around.
For central plans, Badi Chaupar is about a 15-minute walk from a three-star hotel in Jaipur’s Old City. Start with the sights around the Old City, then use the Metro for the longer journey toward Railway Station or Mansarovar.
